Special Limited Edition

A Southern Gothic Romance in a faraway, rockabilly land. If they ain't no Elvis, where do old be-bop kings go to be reborn? Love lifts us upcountry, into snowy castles, where a world-worn guitar picker on his last shaky leg finds the unexpected: An ageless spinster whose flesh must shun the light of day.

A Tale Untold by a Riddle Top Magpie.

"Thornhorn, where the hell have you been?" William Peter Blatty (author of The Exorcist)

Author Biography

Randy Thornhorn is a teller of many sweet and eerie and sorrowful tales, including this one, and his novels Wicked Temper and The Kestrel Waters. Most of Mr. Thornhorn's stories occur in a displaced world, a fable-infested Southern region some would surely deem unsafe. He visits often, sometimes stays the night. Other nights he might be found on a wooded hilltop somewhere east of Montgomery in the land of Alabama.

He seldom sees angels fly his skies. But magpies are another story.
